i have a database im trying to backup and then restore using ssh. however when i put it in it asks for a password and i dont recall what the usernames password is. is there a way to find that out or can i delete that user and then recreate it with the same name and give it the same access and that would be alright?

mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'football_joom1'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect

i get that message

Look in your includes/config.php.

if you cant remember , you can simply reset it from your cpanel and change it back in includes/config.php too
